13 Nov Research Trip Completed

In October 2017 we completed our week long reconnaissance trip. This trip started with a early morning flight to Frankfurt where we collected our rental car for the week, a BMW 220i. The week then consisted of nearly 2,500 miles being driven across 5 countries visiting over 30 hotels. All in a variety of weather from glorious sunshine to snow and temperatures being a few degrees below freezing.

We see these trips as an essential part of our events. Yes you can do your research on the internet, and of course we do that, but visiting in person gives you a better feel what what works and what doesn’t for a driving holiday. This is especially true when it comes to the hotels. Local facilities, ease of finding the hotel, access to car parks… the list goes on. We tick off as many things on our ‘want’ list as we can when selecting hotels, to make life as easy as possible when you rock up at your hotel for the evening after an adrenaline filled day driving on mountain roads.

We came back pretty tired after the trip but we now have a great selection of hotels in place for our European Road Trips in 2018 and we can’t wait to see your reactions when you arrive at them with us.
